Bhopal: Vetran BJP leader and former chief minister Babulal Gaur has stirred a controversy by saying that Congress ensured a ticket for his daughter-in-law from BJP in the just concluded Assembly polls in Madhya Pradesh.

A video in which Mr Gaur was heard making the confession before the Congress leader Arif Aqeel who was seeking re-election for sixth time in Bhopal (North) Assembly seat, has gone viral landing BJP in embarrassment.

Mr Gaur who made way for his daughter-in-law Krishna to contest from his assembly seat in Bhopal this time, was heard saying that he was finding it difficult to get BJP ticket either for him or for his daughter-in-law. But, his daughter-in-law was finally given BJP ticket due to help from Congress.
